Through this collection of pedagogically focused articles, we aim to provide insights into Home Economics education in various parts of the world and at various levels of education. This issue widely represents Home Economics education at the tertiary level, making the issue a unique collection of articles for colleagues working to develop higher education programmes.

They illustrate how Home Economics education is being constantly developed in daily, practical, classroom activities and through research-based innovations. Articles feature quantitative and qualitative, disciplinary and trans-disciplinary, and empirical and theoretical work in addition to relevant descriptions of the work of reflective practitioners in developing Home Economics education at various educational levels. The articles published here focus both on teachers’ and students’ views to identify practices that support meaningful learning. Curricula are analysed to provide understanding of Home Economics education in societal contexts. Curricula are powerful tools for highlighting the relationship between sustainable development, cultural responsiveness, and education within the teaching and learning of Home Economics.
